Everything the Cubs have done over the last two years has gone well, except for their marquee signing, Jason Heyward. He’s playing his typical great defense, but is batting .223/.318/.314. And yet it doesn’t matter. They’re six games up on the next-best team in the standings.

The Nationals got a spark this weekend from top prospect Trea Turner, who went 3-for-3 with a walk in the only start of his brief call-up, but he went back down to Triple-A Monday. He’s batting .318/.382/.475 with 21 extra-base hits in Syracuse.
